hmm, interesting, the beam shot looks very impressive, what power supply does it run off?

Im looking to modify an old cateye light to house some decent LEDs and run off the 2xC batterys that fit the ready made housing/switch unit. I figure the optic on the cateye will be better than using a hand torch, simply strapped to the bars/helmet, a la tesco, and I would also have a purpose made mounting system.

funny you should mention it but I have no desire to
spend days in my garage cutting and sawing ali to make lights for a few bowls of rice . though it may come to that soon.
But I am looking into someone making the housings on there CNC stuff
and then it will be a possibility.

as to cost then I have no idea you put a value on a light of this quality.

Nice work on the triple MCE unit. Reflectors seem to be the preferred option for them I take it? How are you powering the MCE lamp? Three MCEs are going to be quite a load on a battery pack.

It is good reading about how the different LEDs work out, saves people like me a lot of cash when we make our own lamps. Do you think a MCE would be able to be used in a 22mm copper end cap? Or would the reflector need more space?

where as in the pic it is reflectors in the beam shot I have used
some optics from Ledil

it would in your endcap but you would need serious heatsinking.

we would prefer to sell just the housings , but would do a few built up also if required .

no idea on price yet waiting for Deesta the cnc man but I think either housing will be in the £45 area.
and the cheapest way for you to get a built up unit is for you to order the bits have them delivered to us we build up the light and send to you .

That is stunning, I could drive with that let alone slowly grind to a halt and push my bike up hills! When the bank account is looking more freindly I am going to get some experiments going. Nice one for sharing the knowledge!
